New reasonable adjustments process for staff with a disability or long term health condition

News | Posted on Thursday 29 June 2023

This new process sets out roles and responsibilities, has an Individual Adjustments Plan that line managers and members of staff can work through and record any agreed adjustments and provides some useful guidance for line managers.

The Culture and Good Practice Working Group has developed this new reasonable adjustment process for staff with a disability or long term health condition. The process sets out:

  • clear responsibilities for line managers, HR Advisors and individual members of staff
  • created a new Individual Adjustments Plan that line managers and members of staff can work through and record any agreed adjustments. This plan is a live document and can be updated regularly and shared with a new line manager if the member of staff moves roles.  
  • developed some useful guidance for line managers

We hope this will make the process clear and easier to follow for everyone.  During the development of the process we consulted disabled members of staff and feedback received included this quote - 'It is great to see it framed in terms of being supportive and enabling, rather than as a capability issue'.
